" but you are not the one pulling the strings, who is? "
That is the big question . I think only the string pullers know for sure. These typically are the guys with the most money . This sometimes can be offset by winning the popular vote.
This bill was no secret . Everyone knew it was comming for a good while. It involves a 40 billion dollar a year industry and huge fortune 500 corporations. Also many substantial business`s from a variety of live animal related industry's. Still it seems impossible to get straight answers to basic questions. You would think some advanced planning took place? Like I've said all along it will be very tough to pass Federal legislation that allows one company to do business while putting another company in the same field under regardless of size. Is this even possible ? I guess we'll find out.
The reptile business falls into a weird space from a business perspective. There's no exclusive reptile giants to hang our hat on but as the saying go`s 4 singles is like a home run.
I just hope the hitters are all batting for us. The general reptile guys need runs along with fan support.
In all fairness Id have to say UsArk has stood for up for us as well as they could.
To me compromise means if you give something up you get some thing back . I don't think compromise is a deal where I leave with less then I came with.
The big cat and primate people have been getting hammered forever and to this point they have protected their freedom as well as the reptile guys. Does anyone know if Pijac lobby's on their behalf.
